Collingwood is a small historic town in Golden Bay, rich in local history and tales from the gold-mining era. The name Collingwood derived from Lord Nelson’s first lieutenant, later Admiral Lord Collingwood. There is a fascinating Heritage Walk that takes in the history of Collingwood by following panels placed strategically around the township. Start your walk at Panel 1 Elizabeth Street. Golden Bay is positioned at the northern tip of the South Island, New Zealand, and is popular with visitors who enjoy the outdoors. Deserted beaches and tracks, and clear crisp days make early spring and autumn great seasons for exploring the many 'ins and outs' of 'The Bay'.
